The citrus flavonoid hesperetin has various pharmacological actions, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer activities. The purpose of this study is to confirm whether the treatment of hesperetin can protect the oocyte from in vitro aging. Porcine oocytes were matured in vitro for 44 h (control) and for an additional 24 h in the presence of 0, 1, 10, 100, and 250 μM hesperetin (aging, H-1, H-10, H-100 and H-250, respectively). This study investigated the effect of different concentration of hesperetin on maturation, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) level, apoptosis index, and the developmental capacity of aging porcine oocytes. In the results, the percentage of cleaved oocytes that reached to the blastocyst stage of H-100 group (37.9 ± 1.1%) was similar to control (38.1 ± 0.8%), and also significantly higher than other aging groups (23.2 ± 0.8%; H-1, 19.7 ± 1.3%; H-10, 26.7 ± 0.6%; and H-250, 18.4 ± 1.6%.)(p<0.05). The H-100 group was significantly decreased ROS activity, and increased the level of glutathione (GSH) and expression of the antioxidant genes (PRDX5, NFE2L, SOD1 and SOD2) compared to the aging group. The H-100 groups prevented aberrant spindle organization and chromosomal misalignment, blocked the decrease in the level of phosphorylated-p44/42 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), and increased the mRNA expression of cytoplasmic maturation factor genes (GDF9, CCNB1, BMP15 and MOS). Also, it was confirmed that the H-100 group expressed higher level of estrogen receptor than the aging group. Therefore, this result indicated that hesperetin is an effective agent to protect from the oxidative stress during in vitro aging of porcine oocytes.
